459 ARW Warrior Spotlight

The Warrior of the Month for May 2025 is Technical Sergeant Michael Temal, 756th Air Refueling Squadron Boom Operator. Regarding his service, he says, “Being a Boom Operator in the 756 ARS has provided me with incredible experiences and perspectives. I got to see the sun rise on the cradle of civilization and see constellations our ancestors felt were out of reach. It took teamwork from our support personnel, maintainers, and aircrews to make that happen, and I am forever thankful that the Air Force made those things a reality instead of just pages in a book. I continue to look forward to serving with the incredible Airmen that make the mission happen regardless of the challenges that life throws our way.”
